William Wellington Winters

I was thinking of my own dad tonight and Memory Lane when you appeared there. Did a bit of research to see if you were still living in Gretna. Sad to find out that you had passed some time ago. I´ll contact the Goat Locker to see if they were given the news to add you to their ranks. If not, I´ll make sure it happens. You were dad´s best friend (Dennis Wiley). He left this world roughly 6 months before you did... I don´t know if my brother had informed you. I´m quite sure you are causing...

Wow Dad! We are missing you so much but hope you are keeping those eyes on your Grandkids Maddie and George (Bonnie & Clyde to you). They´re 15 now. You would be so proud... they miss you Dad.. xxxx

Shipmate you stand relieved.we have the watch. Ring the Ship's Bell: Master Chief Petty Officer Winters departing.

I was sad to hear about your passing and that my children never had the opportunity to meet you. We were all looking forward to it. But I will always be thankful for the time I was able to spend with you and will always cherish the chess set you gave me.

We will miss you Uncle Bill. We are all so glad we spoke with you via FaceTime on Christmas Eve and had a few laughs.
